I was invited to attend a meeting with Bob Proctor this coming Tuesday and what an AMAZING opportunity!!!! Here’s the thing.. (LOL) I will be in Rec Camp with my new program through college. It’ s a leadership camp for 3 days and at this time and at this path I am unable to meet Bob. If you’ve been reading my posts you know how much the amazing Bob Proctor means to me and the impact he’s had and influenced my life. Well, my great friend Kristine is going to be able to attend so what I have done is written a letter to Mr. Proctor and asked her to give a copy to him and get him to sign a copy to bring back to me where I can add it to my vision board looking forward to the day when I get to meet him in person… I thought I would share the letter with you
Dear Mr. Proctor,
I know that you have never met me (yet) and as much as I wanted to be here today to meet you in person my path has me at a leadership camp as I have chosen to go back to school at 32- I am finally following my passion! I look forward to the day where we get a chance to meet in person and I can shake your hand and in person say, “THANK YOU!”
I would like to tell you how much you have touched my heart and life in so many ways and helped me to clearly see the path to my own personal health. I was faced with cancer invading my body and I used your words and your successes to manifest my own personal health- I am VERY happy to report that I have been cancer free for 2 years and I continue to live a choice life!
There are so many things that I want to say to you but most of all from the bottom of my heart I want to say THANK YOU and I look forward to the day when I get to meet you in person and have enough financial wealth to enroll in your personal coaching program.
Love your friend,

I began school last Tuesday and I LOVE it! It’s a huge adjustment and one I hope to conquer! I know I will.. I wish everyone could see why I am doing this. To better my family and myself. Show my kids that they must go after what they want and keep at it until you get it! I am trying sooooo hard to be a MOM first and spend as much time with my babies as I can… I was challenged on this today and it’s my prayer that I can figure out a way to resolve this as Daughters need time with their Mommies and Mommies need time with their daughter’s.
Ok, so I have this one class that is standing out from all the others. It’s Sociology to Leisure and it’s a cool one! OH, and as a mandatory part of my schooling I have to go to Leadership camp next week from Monday to Wednesday.. really looking forward to that.
So back to my first assignment in Sociology… we were to listen to the song below my John Lennon “Working Class Hero” and talk about what we think the song is about and the relevance to today. Well here is the song and here are my thoughts which I submitted to my Professor earlier this evening. I am sure if you have been reading my points you can see why I loved this assignment so much… HUGS! Xoxo
Working class Hero Assignment for Sociology of Leisure
What is this song was all about? What is its relationship to our present world?
As I was listening to this song the very first lyrics, “as soon as your born they make you feel small” really struck a chord with me. To me this song states very clearly how society dictates the rules in which we live and see things and are supposed to perceive the world. We refer to these people so often as “they” and I have always wondered who “they” really are. Are “they” our parents, our leaders, the wealthy or a bit of all of them combined together?
To me the song was talking about how society teaches us at such a young age to think from the outside in limiting our beliefs. We continue to follow their rules, follow all these beliefs until we finally need to find a way to break free. We need to break free from all the propaganda they’ve loaded us up with since the time we’ve been born.
In order to break free we need to start thinking from the inside out. We need to listen to what our inner voices are telling us and know that whatever we want we can break free and be just like the “people on the hill” instead of the “slaves” they want us to be.
I think John Lennon was urging us through his lyrics to wake up and see exactly the way things are instead of how “they” want us to see it; to take massive action and start asking some real questions. We need to take a stand and stand up for who we are and what we want.
This song still has such prevalence in today’s world and I have to admit that I am very passionate when speaking about this subject. From the time it was written to the present day still only 2% of the population hold the wealth in North America; only 2%!!! “They” still tell us how to think and we still follow aimlessly believing in all these limiting beliefs. Today, people are so quick to point out how they can’t do something rather than looking at how to actually make it happen or just believe that it can happen.
This song evoked such emotion in me when I first heard it and it still evokes the same emotions. I truly hope that in my lifetime I can teach people how to think from the outside in. We are the only ones that know what our potential truly is and we are the only beings that hold the power of thought- we can create things through our thoughts.
I say let’s break free from the social conditioning of the past and stand up and be our own heroes; not slaves to “them”! We can be anything we want to be and I say “fuck them!” We have the power to choose our own paths and will have the courage to continue on the path’s our minds can see.

OMG I am really out of shape! It happened so fast and without me even realizes the extent! I just received an event invitation about National Push Up day to raise money… They were talking about doing 100 push ups in a row or how many sets up 100 push ups. I knew this was a crazy idea but I decided to see how many I could really do and the final result was sooooo very pathetic. I have always had problems doing normal push ups but have gotten by doing the girl ones which are still difficult enough.
Ok, I need to see how much better I can get! With my new mantra that there is no such thing as failure I can totally do this! My goal will be to get to 100 push ups.. .timeline? No idea?! I think I’ll start with getting to 100 doing them on my knees them work up to doing 100 the real way. How does that sound?
I love the gym and working out so I am not sure how I’ve let it get this long… Life has been so crazy that I think maybe I stopped putting my workouts as a priority.. well, this just has to change.. Now I just need to figure out how to fit it in with my new crazy schedule. I guess I could start by changing gyms so I am working out at the college in between classes or before classes or maybe even after on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s when Hannah is with her Dad as I work in the mornings. I am sure I’ll figure it out!
Do you know what.. I started thinking that I had failed on this weight loss thing then I watched this movie Three Feet from Gold… it really woke me up.. I can’t fail (which I already knew) but I was so focused on my other goals like school, work and Mommy things that I forgot that I had my very important personal goals. Well, as long as I keep at it I’ll figure it out and things will turn out the way I want them to. So here I go again… or better yet, here I continue the path/journey.
Please stick with me.. If I am not going to give up on myself then please don’t give up on me
Love ya!

Thank you sooo very much for all your emails as well meaning thoughts! I got to work yesterday morning and was in such a freak out mood… The girls there were amazing and kept me in that positive place… around 11am I got the phone call I was waiting for and YUP, I was accepted for the funding from Second Careers… Funny thing is that i had some customers in the store and immediately after hanging up the phone I was on such a high trying to keep it together until they left the store.. I told them they were my good luck charms politely had a conversation with them then said goodbye… IMMEDIATELY after they left I did the screaming I wanted to do and was so overwhelmed with emotions! I am just so excited for this amazing new journey ahead of me- just remind me of how in love with this decision I am when I am overwhelmed with studies, homework, being a Mommy, working and everything else… you know what?! Bring it ON! I am soooo ready and excited for this new opportunity.
So I start on Tuesday! Yes I do! Funding comes in at the end of September so until then I need to figure it all out! Yikes! Books, fixing my vehicle until my new one comes into my life… work and studies and still being a Mommy. The Mommy part I have made an absolute non-negotiable. Being a mom is the best job in the entire world and one that I take very seriously. I have specifically broken up my time so Mommy Time is at the top of the list, then school, then work. So far on paper, I’ll be seeing my babies as much as I can and work has been AMAZING at scheduling time around being a Mom. I am soooo very grateful that they understand my schedule and still know that I can be an amazing asset to their team. Work is still such a fun place to go to.. I get to watch people’s dreams come into reality every day.. engagements, couples in love, anniversaries, weddings, funerals.. I get to be a part of happy childhood memories when they find an item in our food isle and come and tell me about such an amazing part of their life. I am sooo very blessed to be surrounded with such love on a daily basis!
Well, it’s a long weekend here and last night I had my neighbours over for drinks to celebrate my acceptance and have a fun get together. There is talk about going out again tonight but I am not so sure 2 nights of drinking would best best. LOL. I think I need to focus on getting my car fixed and relaxing this weekend before life gets pretty crazy; well crazy in a good way! lol
Hugs!

I am awaiting my final acceptance for funding into the Second Careers program to begin my college program this September 8th… I just found out that they are behind in the process and I’ve been calling them for most of the afternoon. Apparently if I go to class on September 8th I will be disqualified from funding so I need this acceptance tomorrow in order to begin on Tuesday as Monday here in Ontario is a holiday.
Well, this is where I need you! All your positive well wishes are needed… I know in my heart this is the right path for me and I just KNOW that I will be accepted.. I just want it to happen tomorrow!
Tonight I am going to meet with my tattoo artist in order to start the process of designing my newest tattoo! I am sooo excited! I am trying to keep my mind busy and in a positive place. Tomorrow I have invited friends over for drinks to celebrate this new path of mine!
Yesterday I attended my college orientation and it felt so great to know this opportunity is here and is mine to take.. I will excel at this next path and I want it soooo very badly! Dreams can come true and mine are unfolding in front of my eyes!
Oh… VEGAS in February for me! How amazing is that?! I LOVE ETHOSFR!!! www.ecomates.com/tashamaggie
Well, all your positive energy in the past has had amazing results so thank you in advance for making this acceptance come tomorrow!
HUGS!
